Late afternoon to early evening busy with all of the sheltered outside seating occupied and a few inside too. My first visit here aided by us having a driver who's on a diet which excludes alcohol!

Just after noon. Already busy with a number of customers in the sunny front paved area. Very pleasant staff - and I was given a fascinating paper map (used as a dining place mat) of the area in the 14th century. Stone - and Rye - were both islands at this time.
